Referendum on Norwegian Membership in EC 1972/National Election Survey 1973
No full textIn connection with the referendum on Norwegian membership in the EC in 1972, Statistics Norway conducted a survey to collect data for scientific and statistical purposes. The survey was followed by a general election in 1973, for the same sample. This is therefore an independent panel survey with links to other surveys conducted in association with the Norwegian electoral research. In the survey of 1972 half the sample was interviewed before the vote, half the sample was interviewed after the vote. Because the data for both the surveys are collected in one file, the number of units on the file is greater than for each study separately. The survey is thus divided into two main parts: 1. EC survey in which 2320 people answered the survey. 2. General elections 2389 survey in which people have answered the questionnaires. Of the 2320 people who answered the EC survey there are 273 people who were not involved in the election survey. Similarly, there are 342 people who answered the parliamentary elections survey that did not participate in the EC survey. They represent the growth of first time voters in the period between the EU referendum in 1972 and parliamentary elections in 1973. This gives a total of 2047 persons who answered both questionnaires. The EC survey is divided into two parts based on the time of the interview: 1. Fieldwork conducted 15/9 - 22/9 1972. I.e. before the referendum on the EC (1171 people) 2. Fieldwork conducted 26/9 - 3/10 1972. I.e. after the referendum on the EC (1149 people) To distinguish these two dates in the analysis, one must use the variable "V9 intervjudel" For further documentation: 1.

Norske kommunestyrerepresentantar i europeisk lys
No full textI denne rapporten legg vi fram nokre resultat frå ei samanliknande undersøking av kommunestyrerepresentantar i 14 land i Europa. Problemstillingane er særleg knytte til korleis dei valde representantane i dei ulike landa opplever rollen som representant, stillinga til kommunen i lokalsamfunnet, fordelinga av makt og påverking i kommunen, kontaktmønsteret til representantane, forholdet til den kommunale administrasjonen, haldninga til reformer av den kommunale organisasjonen, tidlegare erfaring, parti- og organisasjonstilknytning, og sosial bakgrunn

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
